To solve the system of equations, let's use the method of substitution.

First, let's solve the first equation for y:
3x + y = 2
y = 2 - 3x

Now substitute the value of y in the second equation:
7x - 4(2 - 3x) = 30
7x - 8 + 12x = 30
19x - 8 = 30
19x = 38
x = 2

Substitute the value of x back into the first equation to find y:
3(2) + y = 2
6 + y = 2
y = -4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, -4).
